ST. CONRAD OF PIACENZA: Feb. 19

February 19, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

Conrad

Conrad was born into a noble family in Piacenza.  A fire got out of control one day when he was hunting in the woods, burning down a neighboring cornfield.  To pay for the damages, he had to sell all of his possessions.  He decided to devote himself to the religious life.  What was left of his wealth, he gave to the poor and became a hermit.   As a Franciscan tertiary, he lived a life of great austerity.  His wife became a Poor Clare nun.  To avoid the crowds attracted to his holiness, he lived the next thirty years in St. Martin’s Hospital and a hermitage.  He spent the last years in the grotto of Pizzone outside Nono.  He was buried there.  Many miracles were accredited to his intercession.
